Not only that, he’s likely using the whole “I’m Finnish” thing as an excuse. According to Wikipedia at least, he’s now an American citizen living in -of all places, Silicon Valley.

Oh yeah totally. But while one could argue we are owed security, we are not owed updates. (And when we do, they’re offered to us via “buy another phone”, such is Capitalism).

FLACs

¿??? it’s not like you’re going to be able to autism at a -0.0002dB disparity on the trumpets channel with those audio chips, why not just store the files there as opus or MP3 for ~6x more capacity? (not to mention faster overall reads)

Security is not a state but a scale, and is gauged against everything else.

From the perspective of a privacy / security zealot, a smartphone is SOL as soon as they lave the factory, as not only not even OTA updates keep them safe (and you can argue that with some manufacturers such as Samsung, OTA does is the primary risk vector!) but they can eg.: ship with unfixable vulns at the hardware level that would lead to ditch the whole thing anyway.

So long as there isn’t something like a state-funded program for citizens to renew their phones every ~2 years for fully open ones, I’d not worry much. After all, the other option would be not using a phone because current ones are a PITA and just as vulnerable from the other end.

I can’t see any of the graphs. The show as a black box.

This despite disabling Canvas Blocker on the page for testing. According to my briwser, loading the resources from “cdn.jsdelivr.net” is blocked due to a CORS failure.

Aren there by any chance image dumps of the charts in any normal graphics image format? Or even jpeg-xl, for variety.

My primary phone belongs to my work.

So it’s not yours. Looks from here that’s the one issue you have to solve before everything else.

No one says you have to upgrade your phone OS to the latest Android. You can just keep using the Android (and/or Custom ROM) that works.

People only now notice an icon that has been there since at least Firefox 112

Media literacy is at an all-time low!

Yeah but still at the cost for a private citizen, right?

So, not in this economy.

Or is the cost of the lawsuit prepaid by the State?

What? As a private citizen? in +this* economy?

Wasn’t the point of stuff like the GDPR that the governments would be the ones doing the enforcing and the suing?

Nice try, fed.

Some of the best stuff in the world looks like it’s 20 years past a prime that isn’t, because they’re truly good eternal.

Yeah definitively sounds like even more support for Rust and/or Python in this sense.

Languages

C.

Frameworks

C.

That said, Python and Rust are great for setting up “starting up” / “small task” apps and growing up from there.

Yes.

Next up!

ICANN approves use of .awesome-selfhosted domain for your network

GRRM is still writing his series.

That’s simple: have the earliest works released into the public domain, while he keeps squatting on the newer and promised ones.

How long do you think copyright should be?

No easy solutions but my general guideline would be that both copyright and patents should never last more than half the retirement age of a current generation, calculated via actuarial tables or some trustable scientific method.

The rationale is simple: the ultimate purpose of both is (or, well, should be) to promote creation so that society in general can be participant of the resulting effects. Half the retirement age not only is a good compromise between giving creator control and giving at least half of society the opportunity to enjoy the public good result of creation within their lifetime and within their fair opportunity to earn wages, in particular in such cases as eg.: big pharma and medications, but also promotes that big creators, such as corporations, act towards the public good of lengthening life and providing good living standards for the rest of society.

And they specifically logged and delivered data about freedom fighters and environmentalists, so there’s some bias on Proton’s hand there.

To be fair it’s 2024 and I’m still doing this, because adding an alternate location to install flatpaks in results in Flatseal not being able to detect those apps or edit those permissions. Just setting the default location as a symlink to where I want to magically fixes everything.
